MBA Admissions: Process, SOP & Interviews

You've got the calls. This is everything between the call and the convert.

What we'll cover:

• The process end to end: timelines, what each college weights, and where people lose points without realising

• SOP and application forms: line-by-line on your draft, and what the committee is actually screening for

• Where your story turns generic, and how to make profile gaps work for you

• WAT: structuring an argument under time pressure

• GD: how to enter, how to hold ground, when to stay quiet

• PI: a live mock including the uncomfortable questions about your gaps, run the way FMS and the IIMs run it

• Structured written feedback afterwards

I converted FMS Delhi and sat through the full process. Scope note: this covers Indian B-school admissions, IIMs, XLRI, ISB, MDI, SPJIMR and similar. I did not apply abroad, so I don't review SOPs for foreign university or scholarship applications.

Send your draft ahead of the call, and tell me which colleges you're interviewing for.
